The USF Symphonic Band will present its Biennial "Sousa-Style" concert, which pays homage to the 
music and programming of the most famous band director to ever weld a baton. Works to be 
performed include two movements of Ira Harshen’s "Symphony of Themes of John Philip Sousa", 
along with the marches on which they are based, "The Symphonic Gershwin" calls to mind Sousa’s 
willingness to program music of his contemporaries, and "Yankee Doodle", as a nod to his great 
patriotism. There will also be a special surprise performance featuring one of USF’s outstanding 
faculty soloists. We hope to see you there.
